Given the global pandemic situation, alarms have been raised regarding the importance of having an air purifier in enclosed spaces, and it has become an essential aspect for any type of establishment or institution.
Currently it is recommended to open the windows 4 times per hour to promote air recirculation and cleaning. But winter is coming, and this fact may be causing other illnesses such as colds or flu. The European Union and the Government have already addressed the issue of air quality inside homes, offices, companies, classrooms, residences, medical centers, etc. If the quality of the air is poor and contains too many particles in suspension it can have harmful consequences for health.
Based on this, all equipment for air purification has been booming and Llaberia Hydraulic Solutions has also added to its product catalog 2 high technology ionizing purifying equipment from Airdog.
What is an air purifier?
In general terms, an air purifier is a device that recirculates the air in a room (whether it is a living room, classroom, medical office, bedroom, etc.) through a filtration system, removing all kinds of dirt, toxins, viruses, bacteria and odors. Later we will see the types of air purifiers depending on their filtration system, which are the most efficient ones and that you can get in Llaberia Hydraulic Shop.
Who is most affected by poor air quality?
The population that is affected the most by air pollutants are children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people suffering from cardiovascular or respiratory diseases.
Difference between ventilation and purification
Although many people think so, ventilation and air purification are not equivalent terms, let’s see why:
Air ventilation
Since a large part of our time is spent in closed spaces, if the air is not renewed, it loses quality and can be very harmful to our health. Ventilation is the renewal of air, by replacing the already polluted indoor air with new outdoor air free of all kinds of viruses and bacteria.
Air purification
This cycle consists of eliminating the polluting particles suspended in the air, which are susceptible to contain viruses and bacteria, and purifying it so that it can be recirculated again, but this time clean and healthy for people.
Types of air purifiers
Ionizing air purifier
The ionized technology of this type of purifiers is totally innovative and permanently eliminates viruses and bacteria trapped in the environment. This equipment has a filtering system composed of a pre-filter stage, an ionizing stage, a main filter and an active carbon filter. Its effectiveness eliminates up to 99.87% of viruses and bacteria from the interior space.
Air purifier with Hepa filter
This is the most widely used technology for many years for the filtering of harmful particles from the air. HEPA filters must meet a particle capture standard of at least 99.97%. However, purifiers that only contain this filter in their system do not remove pollutant particles, but only trap them. The filter has to be changed over time, otherwise it becomes dirty and loses effectiveness and you run the risk of putting contaminated air back into circulation.
Ozone air purifier
These types of air purifiers produce ozone gas (O₃) as they operate. Although it has been implemented in many places because it has been argued that they are safe and effective in controlling indoor air pollution, medical professionals have openly expressed that frequent exposure to ozone can generate asthma symptoms and even cause lung and respiratory diseases. They also do not effectively remove particulates, viruses and bacteria.
UV air purifier
These purifiers have a UV lamp installed and as microorganisms pass through the UV rays generated by the lamp, they are destroyed. Although this type of technology is very effective in eliminating viruses and bacteria, it is recommended to use it together with another filter system placed in front of the lamps. So most air purifiers that contain UV use it as the final stage of the filtration system.
